Preliminary Budget, Levy Approved

The City Council has approved a preliminary property tax levy increase of 6.4 percent for 2018. The 6.4 percent increase to the levy is now the maximum amount the City Council can raise the 2018 tax levy. Once the preliminary levy is adopted it can be lowered, but not increased. The new levy is an increase of $1,243,040 compared to the 2017, but due to a shift in the tax base the portion of the increase realized by homeowners will be less than previous years. Read more

Raking Autumn Leaves

Why should you rake your leaves? It’s a simple answer: to protect the environment. Leaves decompose and restock the soil with nutrients and organic matter.
